Cutting
This method is often sought out by people who have seen it in movies or TV shows. It should not be considered a method, as it is only in these shows to play it up for the movies. With a success rate of ~1-4%, the odds are the opposite of in your favor. While they make it seem like you can take a razor blade to the wrist and peacefully slip into unconsciousness in the bathtub, in reality it is nothing like that. The human body is wired to not be able to harm itself in this way. In order to die from blood loss you would have to cut an artery. The arteries are meticulously located beneath several layer of muscle, tendons, and other tissues. They are not meant to be cut, especially not on purpose. Even with wonderful understanding of anatomy, such as healthcare workers, you would have a very, very poor chance of reaching them unless you were in a state of psychosis. If you attempted to, you would find yourself halfway there before realizing you mentally and physically cannot get yourself to go any further. Your mind will stop you without you having any control over it. Many people argue that if they get drunk or high beforehand they will be able to overcome it, however this would impair your ability to properly locate and cut to the arteries. The biggest risk with this method is permanent nerve damage to whatever area you attempt to cut. Depending on how deep you get before aborting, you may end up with severe scarring and potentially anemia or other blood loss related conditions.

It is not a great option, barely one at all. Can't recommend. I'm sorry you are struggling to the point of considering it though. Big hug <3

Don't do it I just tried couple days ago and I went into hypovolemic shock passed out threw up alot ended up in the hospital you will most likely just traumatize yourself and others and end up extremely exousted and in pain there is a chance it can work but not a high one especially because it's hard to actually locate how deep and where the arteries are

The first idea is usually not the best one. When I started feeling suicidal I wanted to immolate myself with fire.

Now I will probably go by hanging.

Cutting my wrists was my immediate first thought as well for suicide! After googling, I found out that it wasn't going to work and now I'm working on a different way. Watching all those movies/shows made me feel lied to.

It can work in a hot bath but it's very low %. Not recommended
